A spiced hot chocolate mix with cocoa, cinnamon, cloves and allspice. Stir a few heaping teaspoons into hot milk, or pack it in a jar for gifting.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon non-dairy powdered creamer
  • 1/4 cup cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

  • Put all the dry ingredients in a bowl or straight into a jar.
  • Stir or shake until even, so there are no clumps of spice.
  • Spoon the mix into a clean jar or vacuum-seal bag and close it tightly.

Notes

Stir 3 to 4 heaping teaspoons into one mug of hot milk. Store dry mix airtight in a cool, dry pantry up to 1 year; refrigerate leftovers made with milk within 2 hours and use within 3 to 4 days.
